Namibia receives US$90 million for HIV

The Clearninghouse on Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention is moving to the new Global HIV Prevention Coalition’s Resource Hub. All of our resources have been transferred to the GPC site, where additional VMMC resources will continue to be posted as part of the Adolescent Boys and Men pillar. This site will no longer be available beginning May 1, 2024.

Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is among the HIV interventions that will be supported by a US$90.4-million contribution to Namibia’s HIV programme through the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for the fiscal year beginning in October 2021, New Era reports. In the last fiscal year, which ended in September 2021, the PEPFAR contributed US$89 million to efforts to control the HIV epidemic in Namibia. The programme plans to reach Namibian men and boys with VMMC demand creation activities, referrals to VMMC, and the use of a national training manual on gender norms and prevention of gender-based violence (AllAfrica, 7 October 2021).
